Professional statement

Ann works with adult individuals navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, grief, adoption-related experiences, and questions of identity and belonging. She offers a gentle, non-pathologizing space where clients can slow down, feel deeply heard, and begin to make sense of how past experiences continue to shape present-day pain points. Ann approaches therapy with care and curiosity, supporting clients in reconnecting with their inner resilience and moving toward healing at a pace that feels safe, steady, and empowering.

Her work is grounded in a holistic and relational approach, drawing from person-centered, psychodynamic, EMDR, parts work, and somatic therapies. As a pre-licensed psychotherapist in Colorado, Ann practices from a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ allied lens. She believes that beneath layers of trauma and conditioning, each person holds the essence of their truest Self. Ann is honored to walk alongside clients as they rediscover that essence and move toward becoming their most authentic and favorite selves.

Message to clients

Together, we’ll explore both present challenges and past wounds so you can step more fully into a life that feels joyful, authentic, and aligned. Therapy with me is grounded in attuned presence, offering a space where you can show up just as you are, feel truly understood, and grow into who you’re meant to be. I work with adult individuals, supporting them as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward clarity and healing.

My approach focuses on helping you make sense of how past experiences shape present-day pain points. I specialize in anxiety, depression, complex trauma, adoption, and grief, and integrate person-centered, psychodynamic, EMDR, parts work, and somatic therapies to support insight and lasting change.

My practice is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ allied. Therapy is a collaborative journey. I bring humility, respect, and care to our work, always honoring that you are the expert in your own life. I offer an honor-based sliding scale ranging from $115-$175. This means I will not ask for proof of income or other documentation of financial hardship, but will ask that you pay the highest rate that you can afford based on your financial circumstances.

Specialties

Anxiety - Anxiety is explored as a pattern shaped by earlier emotional and relational experiences, not just symptoms to manage. Treatment integrates insight-oriented work with carefully chosen CBT strategies to help clients reduce avoidance while building a greater sense of safety and agency.

Depression - Depression is approached as a meaningful response to loss, internalized criticism, or long-standing relational patterns. Therapy combines depth-oriented exploration with CBT tools like behavioral activation and routine-building to support movement, motivation, and emotional reconnection at a pace that fits the client.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - PTSD treatment focuses on understanding how past experiences continue to shape emotional responses, relationships, and self-protection. Psychodynamic processing is paired with CBT-informed grounding and exposure techniques to reduce distress while prioritizing safety, pacing, and integration.

Loss, grief, and bereavement - Grief is approached as a deeply personal process shaped by attachment, meaning, and past experiences with loss. Therapy offers space to mourn and integrate the loss while using select CBT strategies to support emotional regulation, daily functioning, and gentle re-engagement with life as it unfolds.
